Paper Pantry Thank You Card



  Hey everyone! I recently participated in a halloween swap over at My Paper Pantry! It was my first time ever swapping and it won't be my last. I was matched up with Carol. She sent me the most amazing package of halloween goodies. Carol you are too generous!! So, since it was a halloween swap I decided to make Carol a littlle 'Fang You' card.
  In the package were these digital stamps you can color. I have never colored one of these for a card ,so I thought this was the perfect time to try it. I think he turned out sooo cute. What do you think?
 I'm not sure if Carol looks at my blog. So if you do Carol this little card is on the way to you. Thanks again!!

Recipe:
Standard A2 card
Digi stamp from Carol
Patterned paper - DCWV
Cardstock - Papertrey Ink
Sentiment - Pink by Design
Sentiment die cut - My Creative Time
Martha Stewart spider web punch
Bic Mark-its for coloring
Also used pop dots, atg and memento ink


Love this sentiment and how the MS punch turned out.

The trunk of the tree is from a DCWV matstack. I love how the trunk look almost real. I cut the top layer multiple times to get the extra leaves. The mats under the tree are from Papertrey Ink and Recollections and I put them through the swiss dots embossing folder. I inked everything with Memento Rich Cocoa ink.
